Question

3,376 rounded to the nearest thousand

Answer 1

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

3,000

Discussion:

Think in terms of thousands:

1000

2000

3000

<- 3376

4000

Notice that 3376 is closer to 3000 than 4000 so 3376 rounded to the nearest thousand is 3000.

Thank you,

Answer 2

3,376 to the nearest thousand is 3,000.

Explanation:

In order to get 3,000, first spot the thousands place:

3,376

--

In this case, the 3 is in the thousands place.

You now look to the right of the number to see if you should round up or down. Remember, 4 and below leave it alone, 5 and above give it a shove:

3,376

--

⤻

When you look to the right of the number, you see 3. Since it's below 5, we are going to round down. Once you round down, you get 3,000.

➴Hope this helps!
